Human rights organizations fired on Monday Vincent Zito Mottowho died on Sunday night at the age of 83, of whom they pointed out that “he went through and suffered life with such intensity that he seems to continue with us, perhaps reciting his verses about the disappeared.”
“Vicente the poet, the member of the Lawyers Guild, the playwright who staged people locked up in asylums for whom he sought to return to normal life, the journalist for numerous magazines such as ‘Crisis’ and ‘Nuevo Hombre’, the exile in Holland that from the CADHU -Argentine Commission of Human Rights- promoted the main denunciations about the dictatorshipthe founder of the Popular University of Mothers where he lived love and pain, the always teacher, the one who walked next to workers mobilized for their rights. Vicente has left, and here we are with his memory“the organizations stated in a statement.
“‘All of heaven is a symphony of promises / But that man, that woman, have no face / Neither eyes nor ears for the glories / (…) A seagull takes flight in the misty dawn / The air is agitated but it is eternal again / That man that woman waits,’ “said the organizations by echoing a fragment of “disappeared“, one of Zito Lema’s poems.
